Do not adjust your set, yes, today we are going green, in honor of St. Patrick's Day.  I must tell you I think it is so cool that the Irish have their own day with their own color.  We Dutch have Queen's Day, on April 30, and everyone wears orange (the Dutch royals are the House of Orange).  But I don't see people drinking orange beer and so on, and surely nobody gets pinched if they don't wear orange.  So we have to work on our PR.  I will definitely try to "go orange" on Queen's Day, however. In the meantime, let's make a pass through the world, shall we... John McCain is now working with Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman.  Interesting.  I wonder if Meg Whitman would be up for Vice President?  Now that would be interesting!  (Carly Fiorina, not so much...) What are the odds of this happening?  I'm speechless.  Comedians everywhere are licking their chops. This is just a great story from Wired Magazine: High Tech Cowboys of the Deep Seas: The Race to Save the Cougar Ace.  I can't properly excerpt from it, you just have to read it all...  fascinating and wonderfully written too. Finger-sized creatures.  Warning, potentially hazardous levels of cuteness.  Hey, I wonder if the orange fuzzballs at right could be Dutch :) Today Tesla began "regular production" of the Tesla Roadster.  "With this milestone, the Tesla Roadster is the only zero emission electric vehicle in production today – this is in stark contrast to the others who only talk about their future plans. Tesla’s remarkable achievement validates the vision, ingenuity, hard work and commitment of Tesla’s employees."  Excellent.  I can't wait to see them on the road. So here we have Vista SP1 toilet paper.  I am not making this up.  One can only hope it is cleaner than the operating system (there are so many possible jokes here, it isn't fair; I guess I'll just have to settle for a crappy pun.) Meanwhile, Vista SP1 availability remains a murky issue.  Actually, who cares?  Everyone I know, and I mean everyone, has either upgraded back to XP or never downgraded to Vista.  Pass the whisky, Laddie, it's over. there once was an OS called Vista the worst since they made the transistor it sucked more than XP how could such a thing be now it's dead and we hardly missed ya
